[Several days after the rescuers go their separate ways, a message comes across the communicators. It's a quiet, even voice that may be familiar to the few he's spoken with. Of course, this is Kuroko, so it's entirely possible they've forgotten him. Either way...]

I've found a job. I'm still in need of somewhere to stay, however.

[And, almost as an afterthought.]

I have a dog. But he's very well behaved. We would appreciate any help that could be offered.

[A tiny bark corroborates this statement.]

[there is a brief cut of Sabo's personal mark before he appears in (in a camera of middling quality) of what is obviously the Pride Recording room. He is sweating lightly and looks a bit wide eyed as if he'd had a bit too much coffee than is good for him. Above him the lights flicker.]

Screw this light show and everything that comes with it. If it's here and everything, no matter what it is, might as well enjoy it, right? Right.

[he seems to think a moment before twirling a drumstick and pointing at the camera]

This is for my friend, you know who you are.

Junkyard Carnival strikes again! Is no band safe from their clutches?

Just last week, New Republic played the Event Horizon stage and their fans reported that the show was amazing and, to quote one tweet by @bb8molikebbgr8 "They're giving it so hard! [string of emotes] #lovepoe". Indeed, it seems New Republic has been rising the charts slowly but surely thanks in large part to the cult following surrounding the lead guitarist, Poe Dameron, and his guitar.

Stranger things have happened.

And stranger things did happen. In the middle of the set (which was doing well by their fans), the band members of Junkyard Carnival made their move. The headliner, Luci sang what could only be described as a truly intimidating song explicitly stating that they were taking Poe to join their band. This serenade was speculated to be staged initially, but by Dameron's reaction and the beating his band-mates took, it was very real! And painful too!

It seems stealing new band mates is becoming a trend for them. Just two months ago their new drummer, Fetch Walker, was abducted from her band: Hate Kitten. Though at the time, she seemed much less bothered by this turn of events than Poe Dameron did.

Unfortunately we could not reach the band for any comment, as they fled the scene with a tipsy Dameron in tow and a bruised and beaten New Republic on stage. Will they ever recover from the emotional strain of losing what was their meal ticket? How will Poe adjust to life in the Pride penthouses?

Will Junkyard Carnival ever stop their rampage? Or will every rock and metal band in our city need to invest in some better security? Or just be mediocre players?

We'll see.
